About this organization
Mission
To measure our success in two ways: money raised and lives touched. Never letting money ever take precedence over life, but knowing that more money raised will lead to more lives saved. To fund scientific research that leads to the establishment of comprehensive and accurate early detection testing. Partnering with top gynecological oncologists and research-based hospitals in the United States will allow us to set clear and measurable guidelines for our grant writing process which will encourage new ideas by young investigators. To bring attention to the signs and symptoms of this deadly disease. Even though the signs and symptoms are vague, research has shown that they are consistently present for women with ovarian cancer. The first step is getting the conversation started.
